can you tell him the truth?

Yes I will tell my friend what I think because like you said only a good friend is the one that is honest about everything. If that person is really your friend you will have love for that person and when you love someone you're always honest with them and try your best to tell that person whether its a good thing or bad thing. You should always try to tell them what ever it is in the nicest way you can so it wont be that hard. Because if you don't tell your friend whats in your mind there might be a chance that person might get hurt for not knowing. So "be as honest with all your friends and loved ones the same way you want them to be honest with you.

hmm there are two faces of a coin..hiding truth to stab frnd is too hurting..n hiding something so dat ur frnd wud not hurt is a loving condition.... its really been tough time when i was planning to about to tell the truth to my best frnd...i was having an affair from 1 year..n i didnt told her yet..also i was attracted towards my frnd so i was afriad i ever tell her..den i wil loe her trust as well as her love.. so tried to hide somehow.... but one day she herself got dis frm a common skul frnd of us.. n dat day i remember ..i tried too hard to console her but she was literally broked down.. its been 3 months..m still trying to convince her.. so my opinion is to tell the truth watever it is...dnt take it lighlty..

Hi lupin! You have rightly given the right answer of your questions which I believe every right-minded person will take. If you conceal your friends small mistakes he will tend to make bigger and bigger ones and one day there will be a time when the situation will worsen. If you don't let him know his mistakes you are not his friend in the real sense. You have to at times make your friends feel offended in order to enable them mend their behavior. And it will be the turning point of whether he accepts your advice or othewise. If otherwise it will again the time of your parting ways with him.

A true friend is willing to take corrections. It should stand the test of time. So if you hesitate from addressing him on certain issues, you're not a true friend at all. Just see if he takes your advice positively, then it indicates he is a REAL friend after all.

You are right , real friend is the one who tells the friend i he is doing or going in a wrong way . Its true they might not like it and might get angry with you but the best part is that you be proud of yourself that you did something good to your friend .

hi lupin,I agree with you that sometimes we found it's hard for us to tell friends around us about their mistakes.Although I knew that sometimes they'll get angry,I still telling them what I think.I don't want my friends doing something wrongly. It is especially things that will made them regret in the future.I will not say things that they want to hear because I treat them as my real friend and at the same time,I expect that they will let me know what are the mistake that I had make.

My best friend and I tell each other the truth. I don't always like what she says but I know she is my friend and would never try to hurt me. I know she is just wants to help. I don't always do what she says but I respect her opinion and ask her advice often.

Yes i'd tell them the true weather or not it hurt there feelings or it was something they really didnt want to hear id still say it. Just because im a friend dont mean that i should tell you what you want to hear. And im not going to tell you what you want to hear if its just going to be a lie. And they can acept it or get mad that chioce it up to them.

yes you are right. I think i can tell them truth.

reality bites! but it speaks the truth. if a friend is not true who else would be true..? i am true to some ver close friends. i am not true to all my aquaintences. for this matter, i never give a fake appreciation too. if i find a close friend doing something wrong i point it out bluntly. this may create some problem but this problem would not last long.

As the saying goes "you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" So even though the truth hurts all the time but I will always tell you the truth whether your feelings are hurt or not. A true friend accepts correction and critism and should actually appreciate that I've been honest. I would rather you tell me the truth regardless of whether I'm hurt or not. So long as the truth is out then life becomes much easier to handle. I can not stand people who lie as lying is a form of laziness, and people just dont want to face the truth. The truth hurts always but its better than living in lies..

If he/she's really my best friend, then I will tell them the truth no matter what. I will choose the right words so it won't hurt so much. If he/she's my best friend, then he/she can accept my advice. Besides, it's a friend job to tell his/her friend the truth of what's right and what's wrong.

well, i would tell my friend their mistakes honestly. i'd say first before telling them what their mistake is - not to get mad at me, and then i would start with it. real friends should tell you if what you're doing is right or wrong, even if it hurts. me and my friends do that...
